Sunstar has finally seen fit to give her an apprentice... of sorts. Once Buck, now Buckfire, stands before her, paws rooted to the new grass. They had spent some time in the badger sett together, but have otherwise failed to make much acquaintance. Scorchstorm would like to be excited about her new role in his life, would like to revel in the responsibility her leader has given her, but even with her body standing stark against the blue horizon, her mind wanders to blue and silver fur.
But she is not in the nursery. She faces the new near-warrior with a stony expression, pressing white-dipped paws into the sandy earth as if she can auger herself there. "What do you know about fighting? Battle?" she presses the dust-brown tom. He ought to know something if he fended off that fox the way he'd said, but she would hate to throw the weight of her skill at him unprepared. She does not think it an overstatement to admit that she is quite good in this particular field. She has left a field of injured in her wake; has turned a cat into a corpse. That ghost seems to possess her hind leg now — where Honeybadger had once sunk teeth, the limb aches familiar. Damned thing. But it is not her choice, and she cannot will it to stop.
"I will tell you this to begin: know where the wind is coming from, and keep it and the sun behind you. You may have the first move." The tortoiseshell falls into a defensive crouch, dual-toned eyes flashing.
